Event Details

PLEASE NOTE: TODAY'S PROGRAM HAS BEEN CHANGED.  Alice Schwarz will be giving her presentation virtually today.  For those attending in-person we will project her presentation onto the screen in the Meeting Room.

Join museum educator, Alice W. Schwarz as she traces the transformation of the kimono from the late Edo period (1615–1868) through the early 20th century, as the T-shaped garment was adapted to suit the lifestyle of modern Japanese women. The talk will feature a remarkable selection of works from the renowned John C. Weber Collection of Japanese art that explore the mutual artistic exchanges between the kimono and Western fashion, as well as highlights from The Costume Institute’s collection.  (Sponsored by the Friends of the Library) 

(Please note: this event was rescheduled from Tuesday Sept. 27.)
